Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Alarm clock shrapnel
Coffee tastes like rust
Scroll through burning headlines
Same bunker, same dust
Skin like torn up canvas
Heart on damage control
Smile painted for the cameras
Trench lines in my skull
[Pre-Chorus]
Every step is sand in the gears
Every breath is marching through fear
If I disappear in the smoke
Would anybody know? (anybody know?)
[Chorus]
This is my war of attrition
Bleeding by indecision
Pushing on, pushing on, grinding down my teeth
Screaming from a ghost position
Begging for recognition
Can you see, can you see anything in me?
Or am I gone in the static of the siege
[Verse 2]
Rap verse:
Mask on, mask off, same face, cracked glass
I’m a long lost cause with a backstage pass
To a front row seat at my own collapse
Every “you okay?” just a social trap
Got a foxhole bed and a landmine mind
Trip on one thought, lose whole nights
Patch that hole with duct-taped pride
Then the shells come back from the inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Every text that I never send
Every joke just hiding the bend
If I fall flat under the noise
Would you hear my voice? (would you hear my voice?)
[Chorus]
This is my war of attrition
Bleeding by indecision
Pushing on, pushing on, grinding down my teeth
Screaming from a ghost position
Begging for recognition
Can you see, can you see anything in me?
Or am I gone in the static of the siege
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to toms, guitars distant, vocal half-whispered then building]
Day forty of the blackout
White flag nailed to the blackout
But the beat in my chest won’t stand down
Won’t stand down, won’t stand down
If I’m just cracks in the concrete
Still, I’m claws in the concrete
Every crawl is a kind of loud
I’m loud, I’m loud, I’m loud (hey!)
[Chorus]
This is my war of attrition
Living on ammunition
Pushing on, pushing on, till the bones all sing
Rising from a ghost position
I become my own witness
Can you see, can you see what I can’t yet see?
I’m still here in the fire of the siege
Still here, still here in the siege (woah)

Prompt
A fast paced rock song like a linkin park kind of vibe about depression but comparing it to a war of attrition. About pushing on and on wondering if your ever seen and heard, rock, punk, post-punk
